U.K.-based AFL Insurance Brokers Ltd. named James Poole director of specialty to lead and develop the company's new specialist business, Agile Risk Advisory.
The new business is wholly owned by AFL and will provide evidence-based risk advice for insurance and reinsurance clients as well as brokers. It will also provide consultation and insight to support and develop insurance-linked securities.
Poole was most recently at startup Geospatial Insight, where he supported big data and machine learning sales.
AFL's parent company is Next Generation Holdings Ltd., which acquired a 58% stake in the broker from its founders in 2017.
